   Very disappointimg fruity floral with wintersweet, osmanthus and benzoin as composition highlights – as the Ys-uzac website calls them. Again, on their website, it is described as a ‘A perfume that makes you smile. It is a sketch about a dream – an ephemeral silent love story during blooming season in a frosty land. Cheerful, tender, irresistible.’, which is partially true.

   A ‘sketch’ about a ‘dream’, ‘silent’ etc are indeed apt descriptions of how weak the sillage and the lasting power of this fragrance are. I need to douse myself in it so that it starts to perform but that comes at a price – my nostrils are paralysed by the chemical bomb opening. One I get my sense of smell back, I get a sheer osmanthus and white tea that is on the sweet side – very lightly so though. Then a faint hint of leather – perhaps an attempt to captivate osmanthus. But there is something off in it, like it may turn sour any moment. And then very light woods that remind me of pencil shavings. So much trouble in such a light fragrance. Then some indescript sweetness. Pleasant but not worth the price tag for me.

   Amicable perhaps, but I find the top and heart too synthetic, without the creativity that makes synthetic nice to me.
